This morning, as I was driving to work, I got stuck behind a car that was going really erratically.

The driver was clearly unfamiliar with the road, or just couldn't drive. The car was going 25 mph in a 40 mph zone. The driver kept hitting the brakes randomly.

The driver (I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman) almost ran over a couple of pedestrians in a clearly-marked crosswalk.

Then he or she yielded to another driver making a left turn, only to surge ahead suddenly at the last minute and come with a few inches of a collision, prompting an angry and perplexed look from the other driver.

I kept trying to pass this idiot, but I couldn't manage to do it.

Finally, a mile from my office I was able to get into the left lane and pass the car.

I shot an angry look at the driver as I drove past.

OF COURSE it was an Asian woman!! She was elderly, looked confused, and was so short she could barely look over the steering wheel.
